Farmers are concerned potential changes to tax policy will negatively impact agriculture, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
Purdue University’s Jim Mintert says “people really are very concerned about this and I think, very importantly for policy makers, they’re paying attention. This is an issue that’s on people’s mind especially with respect to the negative implications for passing a farm on to the next generation.”
He tells Brownfield nearly 80 percent of farmers surveyed are very concerned tax policy will make it more difficult to pass their farms to the next generation.
